Westminster is a borough of London, which served as the abbey and hospital for the aristocracy during the Industrial Revolution, excluding the city's poor almost entirely.
History[edit | edit source]
The borough contained a number of notable residences, such as 10 Downing Street, Dover House, Montagu House, Richmond Terrace, Buckingham Palace, and the Palace of Westminster.[1]
In 1851, the Crystal Palace was constructed in Hyde Park and housed the Great Exhibition, where the Aurora Equestrian Troupe performed beside it. During the last of their acts, one of the troupe's acrobats, Pierrette Arnaud, saved Countess Ada Lovelace from a gang of thugs and escorted her home.[2] Nearly ten years later, the Assassin Simeon Price was put in Millbank Prison for his desertion after being ambushed by the police.[3] By 1862, he was brought to court at the Horse Guards. However, he was later freed and excused from his crime, thanks to the aid of Byron Ockham, son of his late friend, Ada Lovelace.[4]
By 1868, the borough was overseen by the Templar Lilla Graves; to take over Westminster, the Assassins Jacob and Evie Frye had to take down several threats. When they were dealt with, a gang war was arranged to take down the Templars' grip on the borough for good.[1]
